It is NOT WP. Russia has many other incendiary devices in its arsenals.

“ This isn’t White Phosphorus, these are thermite incendiary submunitions … we’ve seen similar footage of these unguided 9M22S incendiary Grad rockets in use by the Russians in Syria countless times.…..”

Russia uses lncendiary weapons ( 9M22, 28 composition) in many of its shells and rockets. They also have many other napalm , incendiary type weapons.

That said, the use of WP is NOT illegal, the US used tons of it in Iraq, the international “ rule” only states it is illegal to use on civilians….

Once again, western MSM is caught lying.

More for those interested:

“ Despite some reporting to the contrary, the 9M22S does not deliver a white phosphorous payload. In fact, white phosphorous—whilst available in ‘unitary’ format munitions for incendiary use and sometimes used as an ignition source in some incendiary munitions due to its pyrophoric characteristics, is most often used for marking and screening purposes, dues to the large volume of dense, white smoke it can quickly produce. Magnesium- and thermite-based incendiary munitions, by contrast, are most often used to ignite fires in areas such as fuel depots, ammunition storage sites, and other flammable military targets. A Soviet manual for the 9M22S also specifically details the intended use of the weapon in areas of dry vegetation. Unfortunately, such munitions have also been used in Syria, Ukraine, and elsewhere in areas primarily or exclusively containing civilians and civilian objects.”

In short, don’t believe our lying western MSM.
